Provides a simple graph plotting component that (at present) is targeted 
towards visualization of time-series of collected data. The types of data 
that can currently be handled are:
<li>
Number of active IP flows as collected by the 
<tt>SSF.OS.NetFlow</tt> package.</li>

<li>
Queue statistics, e.g. NIC send queue, as collected by the 
<tt>SSF.Net.droptailQueueMonitor</tt>
class.</li>

<br>Over time it is intended to be generalized for visualization of various
kinds of collected data.
<p>The package is based on the <a href="http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/java/ptplot/">ptplot
package</a> open source from the Ptolemy Project simulation environment
(Berkeley). At present it only makes minor changes to this package in terms
of data presentation.
<p>The package is primarily intended for animated plots, using the '-live'
option. However, it can also be used to generate files in formats that
can be recognized by standard ptplot or MATLAB.
